A role-playing game that practices social & emotional learning by interacting with characters, rebuilding Greenberry, & saving & collecting the Zim. (iPad - free)
A great game to play to address categorization as well as word recall. Each player (from two to eight, perfect for groups) tries to be the first to tap the screen & answer letter & category combinations. "S" & "Superhero" may equal "Superman," while "O" & "boy's name" might get the answer "Oscar." The categories include cities, actors/actresses, three letter words, & more. It does contain ads, but the ads don't play if you have no Internet connection. (free)
A great interactive app for toddlers to second graders who like to play with puzzles, & helps them to develop critical thinking & mental reasoning skills. A puzzle game that allows students to choose the number of puzzle pieces from 4 to 36, & gives audio & visual hints. Select the level of difficulty from easy, medium, & hard. The easy level starts with part of the puzzle filled in, while the hard level makes the students fill in the complete puzzle. To make it harder still for older students, remove the visual hints. This removes the ghost image behind the puzzle. The best part of all is that students, teachers, & parents can add their own images to create their own unique puzzle & categories. To really personalize the app even more, parents & teachers can add their own Success Sounds by recording their own praises for their little students. What a great thing for students to hear either their parents or teachers telling them great job or how cleaver they are! This is a fully customizable, FREE app from Grasshopper Apps. This is one app not to miss & download. (free)
Play with 21 animals & see what they do when you tap them. Musical sounds & funny animations are used for each animal. (Ex – Can a dog breakdance? What would an elephant do in your bathroom?) ($2.99)
